A few dozen new readers, maybe. As the first few positive comments started rolling in, she was pleased to have done something nice for a dad who definitely deserved it. She had no idea that, within days, millions of people would see her video, and her father’s book would rise to the top of Amazon’s Best Seller list. Lloyd Richards first published Stone Maidens in 2012. It’s a thriller about an FBI agent following a killer in Indiana and, by his daughter’s account, it’s quite attractive. However, his original release (出版，发行) failed to drum up excitement. It’s a different world now, with social media making somebody and something rise to fame overnight. Richards, the daughter, decided to try her luck. “I saw how much time and effort and passion my dad put into his book. I know what a lovely storyteller he is,” she told CNN. “He never stopped writing, and he always stayed positive.” Whether it was the interesting thriller, or the efforts of a proud daughter, the story of Lloyd Richards and Stone Maidens struck a chord. Marguerite Richards posted the first TikTok about Stone Maidens about two weeks ago. It has since received 48 million views and numerous positive responses. After that, Richards posted more videos of her father, delighting in his unexpected success. “My dad wasn’t really sure what TikTok is, but he has been so pleased and grateful,” Richards says. The experience has breathed new life into a labor of love. Now, Lloyd Richards has more than 360,000 TikTok followers and a brand new story to tell. He has plans for the future, too. 4. What did Marguerite Richards do? A She helped her father to publish his novel. B. She introduced her daily life on social media. C. She wrote an interesting novel about her father. D. She made a video to promote her father’s novel. 5. What do we learn about Stone Maidens? A. It was an instant success. B It didn’t attract much attention at first. C. It wasn’t interesting indeed. D. It was written more than fifteen years ago. 6. Which of the following statement is true according to the passage? A. Marguerite had expected the popularity of his father’s book. B. People showed no interest in Marguerite’s video on TikTok. C. Lloyd Richards had written many successful books before. D. Marguerite considered his father’s efforts worth the attention. 7. How did Lloyd Richards feel about what his daughter had done for him? A. Delighted and thankful. B. Surprised and regretful. C. Puzzled but happy. D. Unexpected and shocked. C “Mathematical symbolism and metaphor (隐喻) are present in every kind of literature, from fairy tales to War and Peace,” says mathematician Sarah Hart. In Once Upon a Prime, she lays bare some of this hidden math and meaning in a host of poetry, novels and legends. She starts with nursery rhymes, often full of counting — such as One, Two, Buckle My Shoe — showing how numbers go into our very first encounters with the world of words. This is not just through counting but also through the rhythms and rhyme patterns. It’s also through trebling — where a word or phrase is repeated three times, such as “Row, Row, Row Your Boat”. The number three is everywhere in common expressions — “Ready, Set, Go!” or “Learning your ABCs.” It’s also central to story structure. Characters tend to come in threes, too, like The Three Little Pigs, and even in jokes. Hart suggests this emphasis on three has some basis in geometry. Three is the smallest number of sticks that can make a triangle. Therefore the number three is given “a sense of strength and completeness,” Hart writes. For a book about math and literature, it’s not surprising that Hart focuses quite a bit on poetry, which is often defined by patterns of some sort. Perhaps more meaningful is her look at how math also creates the structure of novels. Some readers may wonder if Hart’s love of math simply leads her to find these patterns in literature. But the chances must be extremely high for the examples she presents to be only chance. Hart’s simple breakdowns of both math and literature make the book easy for anyone to follow, no matter their proficiency in either subject. Not everyone will finish the book and discover the mathematical treasures hidden in a book or poem. But that takes little away from the pleasure of reading it. 8. What does the underlined phrase “lays bare” mean in paragraph 1? A. Picks. B. Creates. C. Uncovers. D. Receives. 9. How does Sarah Hart support her opinions in her book? A. By referring to a subject. B. By drawing comparisons. C. By providing examples. D. By using experts’ words. 10. What is a feature of Once Upon a Prime according to the text? A. It highlights the charm of poetry. B. It focuses on the origin of geometry. C. It explains a difficult mathematical theory. D. It reveals the mathematical impact on novels. 11. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. A Glimpse into Mathematics B. The Hidden Math in Literature C. Strength and Completeness of Numbers D. Mathematical Symbolism and Metaphor D Scientists can now conduct space research on Earth as China’s “ground space station” has been put into trial operation, reported Xin hua. The facility is called Space Environment Simulation and Research Infrastructure (SESRI). SESRI simulates (模拟) conditions in space and is designed for studying basic space science. This will help scientists do experiments that they normally do in space. SESRI is jointly developed by the Harbin Institute of Technology and the China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation. “Space is very different from the environment on Earth and can have different effects on spacecraft. What we do here is to explore how the effects take place and why,” Li Liyi, executive deputy director of SESRI, told Guangming Daily. At the facility, there is a device that simulates the space environment from 100 kilometers away from Earth to the sun. In this area, more than 99 percent of visible matter is in a plasma (等离子体) state in which gas is in a highly charged and energetic state of matter. By re-creating the environment, the device can test how plasma affects spacecraft. Also, one of the biggest problems manned space travel faces is when spacecraft enter Earth’s atmosphere, they are surrounded by plasma, leading to communication blackouts (黑障). The test center can also help solve this issue as researchers now have more opportunities to do tests. The researchers faced many challenges when building the simulation system, as connecting various parts of the device can be very complicated. “We held more than 700 meetings over a connection problem alone.” Jin Chenggang at the facility told Heilongjiang News. SESRI also has simulation systems for the moon and Mars, which can re-create the vacuum, extreme temperatures, and space radiation that astronauts would encounter on these space bodies. The systems will help astronauts prepare for their missions to these places in the future, reported Guangming Daily. In the future, the platform will also play an important role in areas including brain science, life and health research, and the development of high-end instruments. 12. What is the main benefit of simulating space environment? A. Supporting space research on Earth. B. Reducing the cost of space missions. C. Studying the effects of space on humans. D. Improving our understanding of black holes. 13. What is Paragraph 4 mainly about? A. The challenge of space exploration. B. The risk of experiments at the SESRI. C. The benefit of space exploration. D. The function of the device at the SESRI. 14. Why does the author quote Jin Chenggang’s words? A. To share a personal story about the building process. B. To show the difficulties of building the simulation system. C. To highlight the importance of preparations for the research. D. To emphasize the challenges of working with other research teams. 15. What does the author imply in the last paragraph? A. Space simulation may be costly. B. Space simulation raises social concerns. C. International cooperation is crucial for space simulation. D. Space simulation has great potential for future exploration. 第二节 （共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 “New Year, New You”. It’s January 1 again. It’s time to make New Year’s Resolutions (决心) again. On the one hand, the New Year’s resolutions reflect our hope to make a personal transformation. On the other hand, they show our regret of the past year. ___16___ The truth is that many people fail to accomplish them and keep making new ones. It is not because of a lack of self-discipline. ___17___ In other words, we seek to “become unrecognizable”. In fact, the appeal of a “New You” doesn’t have to do with concrete changes. ___18___ With a new year beginning, we want to finally feel that we’re in the driver’s seat when it comes to our health, finances, personality and so on. So the very concept of “New Year New You” collapses after careful reflection. Just like we could never drag ourselves out of the mud by pulling on our own hair, we could never win the struggle to become a totally different kind of person. Instead of “becoming unrecognizable”, the New Year should be a time to commit to “radical doability”. This means embracing (拥抱) the pleasure of an easily reachable goal. If you find waking up at 5 a. m. difficult, make 7 a. m. your initial goal and make progress every day. ___19___ If 2025 is your year for getting fit, it probably isn’t also the time to start tidying your home or learning a new language. So let 2025 be the year when we finally stop trying to become someone else. ___20___ Let’s start doing things in baby steps: one message to a friend or one workout. Not many, but at least one. Not later, but right now. A. Rather, we fail to live up to our expectations. B. Accept who we really are and start from there. C. But it’s the very attempt to make complete changes. D. This also means consciously setting up a major goal. E. Why are we going through such．contradictory feelings? F. It also means focusing on a limited number of goals at a time. G. On the contrary, it’s about obtaining a sense of controlling our life. 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 （共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Seven years ago, Naaz Ozair’s life took a heartbreaking turn when he lost his young nephew to cancer.

As a teacher in Muzaffarpur, India at the time, he was good at solving complex problems. After many failed ___25___ to discover a practicable plastic alternative, Naaz ___26___ an unexpected solution: corn husk（玉米皮）。 What started as an experiment quickly ___27___ something much bigger. Naaz began making ___28___ products, including chocolate wrappers, cups, etc.—all from corn husk. His business now has over 10 different products, and he’s selling more than 1, 000 items daily. However, the path to ___29___ wasn’t easy. To make a real difference, Naaz left behind his stable teaching career, devoting his time and energy ____30____ to research and product development. Naaz’s products not only help reduce plastic waste but also ____31____ local farmers in his region, providing them with an additional ____32____, where corn is grown three times a year.

From high-end modeling shoots to heartwarming sibling photos and lovely birth announcements, we cover it all. Our studio is always busy, and as is stated on our website, we don’t accept walk-ins. With bookings scheduled six months in advance, it’s non-stop. One evening, just ten minutes before closing, a mother walked in with a young girl, around six or seven years old, following her. I felt quite annoyed — I really needed to close up. The mother said, “Hello. I know you’re closing soon, but I have a special favor to ask.” At that moment, the little girl peeked out from behind her mother’s legs, her eyes scanning nervously around the room. She glanced at the beautiful portraits of healthy, smiling children hanging on the walls, and the expression on her face was a mix of longing and self-consciousness. She seemed to know she didn’t look like the other kids in the photos. Under her thick winter coat and hat, she looked weak, with dark circles under her eyes. She had no hair, and a tube was taped to her cheek, feeding into her nose. It was clear she was very ill. The mother continued, her voice shaking, “My daughter saw one of your photos at the hospital. She used to be such a beautiful and lovely girl as those in your photos hanging on the walls, but she doesn’t look her best right now... Sir, I know you’re booked up, and the next appointment is months away, but I don’t know...” She started to cry. I realized that waiting for months was not a bet for this little girl. Seeing she held her mother’s hand tightly, I felt my heart soften. 注意：1.续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 I took a deep breath and smiled gently at the little girl, making up my mind to do something. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The little girl looked at the photos with a bright smile. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2024-2025-2长郡智谷中学高二下第一次月考 英 语 时量：120分钟 满分：150分 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分）略 第二部分 阅读（共两节，满分50分） 第一节 （共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Visit Amsterdam, the Netherlands Best time to visit July and August are popular and busy.

In Once Upon a Prime, she lays bare some of this hidden math and meaning in a host of poetry, novels and legends. She starts with nursery rhymes, often full of counting — such as One, Two, Buckle My Shoe — showing how numbers go into our very first encounters with the world of words. This is not just through counting but also through the rhythms and rhyme patterns. It’s also through trebling — where a word or phrase is repeated three times, such as “Row, Row, Row Your Boat”. The number three is everywhere in common expressions — “Ready, Set, Go!” or “Learning your ABCs.” It’s also central to story structure. Characters tend to come in threes, too, like The Three Little Pigs, and even in jokes. Hart suggests this emphasis on three has some basis in geometry. Three is the smallest number of sticks that can make a triangle. Therefore the number three is given “a sense of strength and completeness,” Hart writes. For a book about math and literature, it’s not surprising that Hart focuses quite a bit on poetry, which is often defined by patterns of some sort.

B. By drawing comparisons. C. By providing examples. D. By using experts’ words. 10. What is a feature of Once Upon a Prime according to the text? A. It highlights the charm of poetry. B. It focuses on the origin of geometry. C. It explains a difficult mathematical theory. D. It reveals the mathematical impact on novels. 11. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. A Glimpse into Mathematics B. The Hidden Math in Literature C. Strength and Completeness of Numbers D. Mathematical Symbolism and Metaphor 【答案】8. C 9. C 10. D 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了数学家莎拉·哈特所著的《昔日盛世》，书中揭示了文学中隐藏的数学元素及意义，并阐述了数学对文学结构的影响。 【8题详解】 词句猜测题。根据前文“‘Mathematical symbolism and metaphor (隐喻) are present in every kind of literature, from fairy tales to War and Peace,’ says mathematician Sarah Hart.(数学家莎拉·哈特说：“从童话到《战争与和平》，各种文学作品中都存在着数学象征和隐喻)”可知，莎拉·哈特认为文学作品中都存在着数学象征和隐喻，所以划线词所在句“In Once Upon a Prime, she lays bare some of this hidden math and meaning in a host of poetry, novels and legends.(在《昔日盛世》一书中，她lays bare许多诗歌、小说和传说中隐藏的数学和意义)”是指，莎拉·哈特在她作品《昔日盛世》揭示了诗歌、小说和传说中隐藏的数学和意义。划线短语lays bare有“揭露、揭示”之意，与“Uncovers”意思相近。故选C项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“She starts with nursery rhymes, often full of counting — such as One, Two, Buckle My Shoe — showing how numbers go into our very first encounters with the world of words.(她从童谣开始讲起，童谣里常常充满了数数的内容，比如《一二，系好鞋带》，展示了数字是如何融入我们最初接触的文字世界的)”，第三段中“The number three is everywhere in common expressions — ‘Ready, Set, Go!’ or ‘Learning your ABCs.’ It’s also central to story structure. Characters tend to come in threes, too, like The Three Little Pigs, and even in jokes.(数字三在常见表达中无处不在——“预备，开始!”或者“学习你的ABC”。它也是故事结构的核心。角色也往往以三个为一组出现，比如《三只小猪》，甚至在笑话里也是如此)”等内容可知，莎拉·哈特在书中通过列举童谣、常见表达、故事等例子来支持她的观点。故选C项。 10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中“Perhaps more meaningful is her look at how math also creates the structure of novels.(也许更有意义的是，她研究了数学是如何构建小说结构的)”可知，《昔日盛世》这本书揭示了数学对小说的影响。故选D项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，结合第一段“‘Mathematical symbolism and metaphor (隐喻) are present in every kind of literature, from fairy tales to War and Peace,’ says mathematician Sarah Hart. In Once Upon a Prime, she lays bare some of this hidden math and meaning in a host of poetry, novels and legends.(数学家莎拉·哈特说：“从童话到《战争与和平》，各种文学作品中都存在着数学象征和隐喻。”在《昔日盛世》一书中，她揭示了许多诗歌、小说和传说中隐藏的数学和意义)”可知，本文主要介绍了数学家莎拉·哈特在她的著作《从前有个质数》中揭示了诗歌、小说和传说等文学作品中隐藏的数学元素和意义。所以B项“The Hidden Math in Literature(文学中隐藏的数学)”最适合作为文章标题。故选B项。 D Scientists can now conduct space research on Earth as China’s “ground space station” has been put into trial operation, reported Xin hua. The facility is called Space Environment Simulation and Research Infrastructure (SESRI). SESRI simulates (模拟) conditions in space and is designed for studying basic space science. This will help scientists do experiments that they normally do in space. SESRI is jointly developed by the Harbin Institute of Technology and the China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation. “Space is very different from the environment on Earth and can have different effects on spacecraft. What we do here is to explore how the effects take place and why,” Li Liyi, executive deputy director of SESRI, told Guangming Daily. At the facility, there is a device that simulates the space environment from 100 kilometers away from Earth to the sun. In this area, more than 99 percent of visible matter is in a plasma (等离子体) state in which gas is in a highly charged and energetic state of matter. By re-creating the environment, the device can test how plasma affects spacecraft. Also, one of the biggest problems manned space travel faces is when spacecraft enter Earth’s atmosphere, they are surrounded by plasma, leading to communication blackouts (黑障). The test center can also help solve this issue as researchers now have more opportunities to do tests. The researchers faced many challenges when building the simulation system, as connecting various parts of the device can be very complicated. “We held more than 700 meetings over a connection problem alone.” Jin Chenggang at the facility told Heilongjiang News. SESRI also has simulation systems for the moon and Mars, which can re-create the vacuum, extreme temperatures, and space radiation that astronauts would encounter on these space bodies. The systems will help astronauts prepare for their missions to these places in the future, reported Guangming Daily. In the future, the platform will also play an important role in areas including brain science, life and health research, and the development of high-end instruments. 12. What is the main benefit of simulating space environment? A. Supporting space research on Earth. B. Reducing the cost of space missions. C. Studying the effects of space on humans. D. Improving our understanding of black holes. 13. What is Paragraph 4 mainly about? A. The challenge of space exploration. B. The risk of experiments at the SESRI. C. The benefit of space exploration. D. The function of the device at the SESRI. 14. Why does the author quote Jin Chenggang’s words? A. To share a personal story about the building process. B. To show the difficulties of building the simulation system. C. To highlight the importance of preparations for the research. D. To emphasize the challenges of working with other research teams. 15. What does the author imply in the last paragraph? A. Space simulation may be costly. B. Space simulation raises social concerns. C. International cooperation is crucial for space simulation. D. Space simulation has great potential for future exploration. 【答案】12. A 13. D 14. B 15.

By re-creating the environment, the device can test how plasma affects spacecraft. (在这个装置中，有一个可以模拟从距离地球100公里处直至太阳之间的空间环境的设备。在这一区域内，超过99% 的可见物质处于等离子体态，在这种状态下，气体处于高度带电且充满能量的物质状态。通过重现这一环境，该设备能够测试等离子体对航天器的影响。)”可知，本段主要介绍了SESRI设备的功能。故选D。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。由文章倒数第二段“The researchers faced many challenges when building the simulation system, as connecting various parts of the device can be very complicated. “We held more than 700 meetings over a connection problem alone.” Jin Chenggang at the facility told Heilongjiang News. (在建造这个模拟系统时，研究人员面临着诸多挑战，因为连接设备的各个部分可能非常复杂。该装置的金成刚在接受《黑龙江新闻》采访时表示：“仅仅是一个连接问题，我们就召开了700多次会议。”)”可知，作者引用金成刚的话是为了展示建造模拟系统的困难。故选B。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。由文章最后一段“SESRI also has simulation systems for the moon and Mars, which can re-create the vacuum, extreme temperatures, and space radiation that astronauts would encounter on these space bodies. The systems will help astronauts prepare for their missions to these places in the future, reported Guangming Daily. In the future, the platform will also play an important role in areas including brain science, life and health research, and the development of high-end instruments. (空间环境地面模拟装置还设有月球和火星的模拟系统，这些系统可以重现宇航员在这些天体上会遇到的真空环境、极端温度以及太空辐射。据《光明日报》报道，这些系统将帮助宇航员为未来前往这些地方执行任务做好准备。未来，这个平台还将在脑科学、生命与健康研究以及高端仪器研发等领域发挥重要作用。)”可知，作者在最后一段暗示了太空模拟对未来探索有很大的潜力。故选D。 第二节 （共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 “New Year, New You”. It’s January 1 again. It’s time to make New Year’s Resolutions (决心) again. On the one hand, the New Year’s resolutions reflect our hope to make a personal transformation. On the other hand, they show our regret of the past year. ___16___ The truth is that many people fail to accomplish them and keep making new ones. It is not because of a lack of self-discipline. ___17___ In other words, we seek to “become unrecognizable”. In fact, the appeal of a “New You” doesn’t have to do with concrete changes. ___18___ With a new year beginning, we want to finally feel that we’re in the driver’s seat when it comes to our health, finances, personality and so on. So the very concept of “New Year, New You” collapses after careful reflection. Just like we could never drag ourselves out of the mud by pulling on our own hair, we could never win the struggle to become a totally different kind of person. Instead of “becoming unrecognizable”, the New Year should be a time to commit to “radical doability”. This means embracing (拥抱) the pleasure of an easily reachable goal. If you find waking up at 5 a. m. difficult, make 7 a. m. your initial goal and make progress every day. ___19___ If 2025 is your year for getting fit, it probably isn’t also the time to start tidying your home or learning a new language. So let 2025 be the year when we finally stop trying to become someone else. ___20___ Let’s start doing things in baby steps: one message to a friend or one workout. Not many, but at least one. Not later, but right now. A. Rather, we fail to live up to our expectations. B. Accept who we really are and start from there. C. But it’s the very attempt to make complete changes. D. This also means consciously setting up a major goal. E. Why are we going through such．contradictory feelings? F. It also means focusing on a limited number of goals at a time. G. On the contrary, it’s about obtaining a sense of controlling our life. 【答案】16. E 17. C 18. G 19. F 20. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，讨论了新年决心背后的动机及其实际执行情况。文章首先介绍了新年决心的双重性质并进一步探讨了“新你”这一概念的吸引力并不在于具体的改变，而更多地与获得一种控制生活的感受有关。最终，文章提出与其试图彻底改变自己，不如在新的一年里致力于“根本可行性”，即从小的、可轻松达成的目标开始做起，从而逐步实现个人成长和改善。 【16题详解】 根据上文“On the one hand, the New Year’s resolutions reflect our hope to make a personal transformation. On the other hand, they show our regret of the past year.(一方面，新年决心反映了我们希望实现个人转变的愿望。另一方面，它们也显示了我们对过去一年的遗憾)”可知新年决心具有双重性，可以推理出作者在下文要提出一个关于新年决心为何会带来矛盾情感的问题，与E项“Why are we going through such contradictory feelings?(为什么我们会经历如此矛盾的情感？)”表达的含义一致。故选E项。 【17题详解】 根据上文“It is not because of a lack of self-discipline. (这并不是因为缺乏自律)”以及下文“In other words, we seek to “become unrecognizable”(换句话说，我们寻求“变得认不出”)”可知，造成这种现象的原因并非我们不够自律，而是我们追求“变得认不出”，可以推理出空白处要表达的是我们追求的是彻底改变，与C项“But it’s the very attempt to make complete changes.(但正是试图做出彻底改变)”表达的含义一致。故选C项。 【18题详解】 根据下文“With a new year beginning, we want to finally feel that we’re in the driver’s seat when it comes to our health, finances, personality and so on. (随着新年的开始，我们终于希望在健康、财务、个性等方面掌握主动权)”可知我们在新年的时候希望在健康、财务、个性等方面掌握主动权，也就是说我们追求的是获得掌控生活的感受，与G项“On the contrary, it’s about obtaining a sense of controlling our life. (相反，这是关于获得掌控生活的感受)”表达的含义一致。故选G项。 【19题详解】 根据下文“If 2025 is your year for getting fit, it probably isn’t also the time to start tidying your home or learning a new language. (如果2025年是你的健身年，那么现在可能不是开始整理家居或学习新语言的时候)”可知，如果你的目标是健身，就不要开始整理家居或学习新语言，可以推理出此处要表达的是专注于有限数量的目标，与F项“It also means focusing on a limited number of goals at a time. (这也意味着一次专注于有限数量的目标)”表达的含义一致。故选F项。 【20题详解】 根据上文“So let 2025 be the year when we finally stop trying to become someone else. (所以让2025年成为我们终于停止试图成为别人的一年)”以及下文“Let’s start doing things in baby steps: one message to a friend or one workout. Not many, but at least one. Not later, but right now. (让我们开始迈出小步：给朋友发一条信息或做一次锻炼。不多，但至少一次。不是以后，而是现在。)”可知，我们要停止试图成为别人，并从现在开始付出行动，可以推理出此处要表达的是接受真实的自己并从现在开始行动，与B项“Accept who we really are and start from there. (接受我们真实的自己，并从那里开始)”表达的含义一致。故选B项。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 （共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Seven years ago, Naaz Ozair’s life took a heartbreaking turn when he lost his young nephew to cancer.

From high-end modeling shoots to heartwarming sibling photos and lovely birth announcements, we cover it all. Our studio is always busy, and as is stated on our website, we don’t accept walk-ins. With bookings scheduled six months in advance, it’s non-stop. One evening, just ten minutes before closing, a mother walked in with a young girl, around six or seven years old, following her. I felt quite annoyed — I really needed to close up. The mother said, “Hello. I know you’re closing soon, but I have a special favor to ask.” At that moment, the little girl peeked out from behind her mother’s legs, her eyes scanning nervously around the room. She glanced at the beautiful portraits of healthy, smiling children hanging on the walls, and the expression on her face was a mix of longing and self-consciousness. She seemed to know she didn’t look like the other kids in the photos. Under her thick winter coat and hat, she looked weak, with dark circles under her eyes. She had no hair, and a tube was taped to her cheek, feeding into her nose. It was clear she was very ill. The mother continued, her voice shaking, “My daughter saw one of your photos at the hospital. She used to be such a beautiful and lovely girl as those in your photos hanging on the walls, but she doesn’t look her best right now... Sir, I know you’re booked up, and the next appointment is months away, but I don’t know...” She started to cry. I realized that waiting for months was not a bet for this little girl. Seeing she held her mother’s hand tightly, I felt my heart soften. 注意：1.续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 I took a deep breath and smiled gently at the little girl, making up my mind to do something. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The little girl looked at the photos with a bright smile. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 I took a deep breath and smiled gently at the little girl, making up my mind to do something. I told the mother not to worry and that I’d take pictures for her daughter right away. I quickly adjusted the lighting in the studio and chose a soft-colored backdrop. I fetched a beautiful princess-style dress and helped the little girl put it on. As she stood in front of the camera, I encouraged her to imagine herself as a fearless princess. Slowly, her nervousness faded away, and she began to pose with confidence, her eyes shining with a newfound light. The mother watched with a grateful smile on her face. The little girl looked at the photos with a bright smile. “I’m so pretty!” she exclaimed happily. The mother came over, tears of joy in her eyes. She thanked me repeatedly, saying these photos would be the most precious memory for her daughter. A few months later, I received a letter from the mother. It said the girl’s condition had improved significantly. In the end, I printed the best photo and sent it to them, hoping it would always bring the little girl strength and hope. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索，讲述了一位摄影工作室老板在忙碌中为一位身患重病的小女孩拍摄照片的故事。他用爱心与专业，让小女孩感受到美丽与尊严，最终帮助她重拾信心与希望，也让自己深刻体会到摄影的意义与生命的珍贵。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我深吸一口气，温柔地对小女孩微笑，下定决心做点什么”可知，第一段可描写作者如何迅速调整心态，为小女孩精心布置拍摄场景，并通过鼓励让她逐渐放松并展现出自信的一面。 ②由第二段首句内容“小女孩看着照片，脸上露出灿烂的笑容”可知，第二段可描写拍摄完成后小女孩和母亲的喜悦反应，以及几个月后小女孩病情好转的消息，进一步体现这次拍摄的意义和影响。 2. 续写线索：决定帮忙——布置场景——鼓励小女孩——拍摄完成——小女孩展现笑容——母亲感激——收到后续消息 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①拍照：take pictures/take photos ②逐渐消失：fade away/disappear gradually ③呼喊；惊叫：exclaim/shout/cry out 情绪类 ①感激的：grateful/thankful/appreciative ②高兴地：happily/joyfully/cheerfully 【点睛】【高分句型1】As she stood in front of the camera, I encouraged her to imagine herself as a fearless princess.(使用了as引导时间状语从句) 【高分句型2】She thanked me repeatedly, saying these photos would be the most precious memory for her daughter.(使用了现在分词saying 作状语和省略连接词that的宾语从句作saying的宾语) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
